As our highly esteemed RC @sd_shadow stated you shouldn't have any issues to post or to create a thread even if you just joined. I assume the issue must be somewhere else. Feel free to contact me by a private message describing your experiences. I'd appreciate screenshots to explain your issues and am convinced we can solve them. Thanks for your cooperation.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] fayeznoor:
There are some videos floating on youtube showing Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant and Captivate having " death grip " , same as suffered by iphone 4.

you can check the videos on youtube

Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant and Captivate has internal antenna apparently located on the back of the phone, towards the very bottom edge. Can any1 here confirm me if Galaxy S is suffering from same issue

Any1 here facing this issue or its just a Apple fanboy gone crazy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] terrorblind:
hi

i have used my phone a lot.. and i have never ever experienced this!

-TB-
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ed10000:
No matter how many different ways I try holding my phone, I can't get the signal to drop.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it is yet another attempt from jealous iphone4 owner trying to make the SGS i9000 / HTD Desire / Moto Droid X looks bad

LOL :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mstrandbo:
I've seen the videos, but I'm unable to replicate the behaviour..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Tried covering it completely with both hands in various ways, i can never get it to drop more than a single bar.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] michi123:
I did notice this the first day I received the phone: signal level drop from 4 to 1 or even zero bars when touching the entire bottom of the phone....doesn´t happen all the time, sometimes the indicated signal level stays the same....couldn´t figure out a pattern yet.

However, I have not once experienced a dropped call.....worst thing that ever happens is that the signal switches from 3G to GPRS - but then I have 4 bars again....

Can live with that....:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
I can easily replicate it with both my SGS phones when placing my palm over the back of the phone. This is in 3G mode and I haven't had any dropped calls yet so I'm not sure if it's an issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
the only place i can replicate this "problem" is when i'm inside a subway station or inside a shopping center with too much metal beams.... say places like walmart and homedepot

by the way we do get cell signal inside subway stations, just weak.

so for reference a normal sony or moto handset non smartphone will be able to make a call perfectly fine, but when i was using the Treos I was never able to get a good signal

however when i upgraded to the HTC Athena i was able to make calls inside the subway station, now with the SGS no problem at all
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Yes, I'm able to replicate the signal drop just like what they show for iPhone 4 in poor reception area only. I can also make the call drop out all together if the signal is already bad enough to begin with.

Note that in strong reception area it is also not possible to replicate the signal drop on iPhone 4, as shown by many YouTube videos, even if you do a death grip.

It's law of physics.

This issue does not bother me because I'll always use a case for my SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roland Deschain:
All smartphones have this problem, didn't you guys listen to Steve Jobs? :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fayeznoor:
lolz

yesterdays event was another publicity stunt by steve jobs
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
Hey now don't confuse this with the iphone 4 issue :) The difference here is the sgs doesn't do this by just bridging 2 pieces of metal, i.e. placing a single finger on the phone. You need to block the whole signal by covering it. I really doubt a case would have any effect on this as well. We are talking laws of physics vs a simple design flaw.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
Cant really replicate it, but it can be a just signal representation bag.

I notice that sometimes I have like one bar, but if I go into setting and look at signal strenghts it can be exceptionally strong at the same time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sundappen:
This just in..

Well... I put mine in a ledshielded box, padded it with sealhide (cause in Norway we have that laying around..) and swallowed it whole!

Bluetooth -> Working fine!

Camera -> Working Fine! (impressive really!)

Reception -> Working fine!

Todo:

* Testing swype whilst death-gripping the bugger! :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
and some basic common sense ;)

of course it seems like that is only applicable to people who are intellectual enough to understand physic of radio waves and its interaction with the environment.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
I think there has been an explosive growth in the level of public awareness concerning the effect of environment and human hand on cell phones after the iPhone 4 issue. I didn't realize my old phones had the same problem until I started testing it both good and bad reception areas. Then I searched in net and found examples after examples of videos demontrating th problem on other phones posted ages ago.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] m3keni:
..hmmmm.. interesting.. I tried my best to replicate the issue..

..and yeah.. i can make it lose signal strength.. down to no bars..

..here is where the problem arises.. i can still make a phone call to my GF..

..nope, i didn't use just my left hand to cover the back side of the phone..

..i used my entire 2 finger and palm.. so the answer is, it doesn't have the iphone 4 flaw.

..lefty? righty? no problem, you can hold the SGS both ways and will never drop your call.

..hope this clears out all those who is trying to make a bad press out of the SGS..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silverdragondk:
Indoors, with my back to the window and my body kinda shielding the phone, I can make it drop from -81 to -97 dbm, by covering the entire bottom back of the phone. I can make it drop down further to -105 dbm by also covering the bottom front. However, both those ways of holding the phone are unnatural and if I turn around and face the window(phone infront, still held between my two hands) it shoots back up to -81 dbm.

So, is there a problem? Not as far as I can tell. As long as I hold it normally it's unaffected.

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eaglesteve:
Actually I think SGS's problem is even more serious than iPhone 4.

I can reduce the SGS signal by 30 dBm consistently at home by merely placing it on my palm without even griping it. With iphone4, I think Anandtech's test reduce it by only 24dBm by death grip or bridging the metal. I have got a crude video showing this if you want to see it, but you should be able to replicate it yourself.
[Captivate General] dinohaven:
Anyway to keep the button lights on the captivate? Maybe extend the time before the shut off? The go off way too quickly for me...
[Captivate General] TexUs:
QFT I'd like to know as well.

Ideally these would shut off at the same time your screen is set to.
[Captivate General] atrain987:

This is really annoying, the bottom buttons shut off before the screen. They should go off at same time.

Could a potential mod fix this issue?
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
Hello all so Im new to android I came over from BB I got sick of the worthless OS they keep updating. Im trying to get up to speed everything with android. I got root last night using the unevoked's new process. As Im reading different threads I keep hearing people refer to adb shell. What is this? I also have a PC and a MAC but I'm more of a Mac guy, is most the stuff you need to do better done on PC or can it be done on Mac's because they talk about opening a command line which of course is done in DOS. Can anyone shed light on this for me? Thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible General] PyRo_DuDe:
adb is a part of the Google Android SDK. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html It's available for Mac, PC, or Linux. Really, it boils down to preference. I believe setup is easier for Linux and Macs, but it's still pretty easy for a PC.

You can use Terminal, or whatever. It just needs a command-line interface for you to type into.
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
Thank you for the link and the explanation. I think its been to long since Ive had a open source device im way behind the curve i guess. Is there a good thread or a site for someone like me to start at that will start at the beginning and explain what SDK is and everything else?
[Droid Incredible General] SifonX:
Firstly, for a general how to of what's going on with our device, adb, so on and so forth, this thread is pretty awesome:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709220

For a more in depth explanation of development and the like hit up:

http://developer.android.com

For the vast majority of what you're going to be doing, you need to be pretty familiar with command line scripts and the like. Also, if you want to write applications, you'll need to know java. If you really aren't all that interested in developing and just want to know about adb, that first link is a pretty good crash course.
[HD2 General] pedrovay2003:
I have the chance to get a Touch Pro really cheap, but I have a problem with it that I've had with all Windows Mobile touchscreen phones, including the HD2 when I had one.

On my Snap, I have a ton of volume options

when editing profiles: Ring, Reminder, Notification, and System. But with the HD2 and every other Windows Mobile Professional phone, you get Ring and System. System controls EVERYTHING but ring, forcing you to have every single notification type at the same volume level. (I've even heard of the Alarm volume being muted if the System volume is turned down, despite the Alarm volume being its own setting.)

Is there ANY WAY -- program, registry hack,

custom cooked ROM, anything at all -- to get

separate volume settings like Windows Mobile

Standard has? This is the ONLY thing keeping me from upgrading...

Thanks for your time, everyone. (I posted this in the Touch Pro section, too, but I wasn't sure if anyone frequented those boards much anymore.)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] stevefxp:
Morning all,

I have been trying with no luck to get the Whitestone added as a copy of the Topaz mboard. Is there someone who can help me get this added? I have been working with phh at the htc-linux room, but since he is a busy person this has not happened yet.

Whitestone did boot on a Topaz build back in Dec, and then a subsequent build broke it. It looks as though they are close in spec, so was hoping this would do the trick.

Thanks,

Steve
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] mweirauch:
I could try to help given my time permits. The devices look similar in specs allthough the processor is different. It's the MSM7600 according to pdadb.net. Luckily the Droid Eris (Desire) is based on the same processor and it's kernel sources are available, which might prove useful later on.

At which point are you currently?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] stevefxp:
What I believe I need to happen is to have the Whitestone made a copy of the Topaz mboard in the kernel. If that happens I think we are well on our way. When the Topaz was originally added, back in Dec, the Whitestone did boot. The next cut changed something since the Whitestone could not boot again.

I have tried 2.1 and it dies trying to create on the SD card. I am about to try 2.2.

Ok, I've done this several times now. I flashed back from Kaos Froyo to Aloysius Snow, and my trackball issue goes away. Albeit my phone is fully charged, and I will get the issue sometimes (not all the time) when I plug my phone in to charge while running snow. It's not a complete cure, but my phone will work fine for several days at a time now (using power manager, and set cpu to save battery).

For the record, here's what I did:

-Charged battery full while on whatever Rom you are using (besides Snow).

-Unplug and turn phone off for about 10 mins.

-Flashed Snow.

This work for anyone else?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Lemcott:
what does your trackball do when it's not working correctl? I've been trying to solve this problem (if I cant help with software might as well try with hardware lol).

most of the problems with the trackball are actually physical problems with it, but there is a fix that I posted a video of a while ago.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
its related to your USB port on the phone being shifted around while plugged in. If you play with the cable while its plugged in youll notice that it cuts in and out at certain angles. its not dirty, well it might be dirty but thats not what makes it stop working. and its definately not software.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
What ^ He said. There are some "fixes" for the trackball like rubbing it on a piece of paper or cleaning it with a cuetip + rubbing alcohol but those are only for trackball issues related to the trackball and not the magnetic sensors. The usb port is right next to the magnetic sensors and of course an electric charge is going to screw with them. It wasn't very smart of them...
[Droid Eris Android Development] n0yd:
I tried this cure out of curiosity, sadly it didn't help.

Most trackball issues are hardware related. I made a other thread about mine the other day. I even pulled my phone apart and cleaned the trackball, rollers and sensors with rubbing alcohol and that didn't help. Only thing that helps is pulling up on the USB adapter when its plugged in. BTW mine doesn't work regardless of if its plugged in or not
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
i have to actually push the usb cord up from the bottom while i use the trackball or it won't work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] patch8908:
I think the best cure is to use that one year warranty and get another phone
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dr.Strange:
Trackball woes...

I think the trackball issue is a little different for everyone. Mine pulls to the left, occasionally the system freezes, and the SMS/MMS acts screwey. For whatever reason, my "trick" works for my phone. If I just go get a power mat and never plug the USB in, my phone should be good.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
i second the powermat idea im going to get a refurb and see about a powermat so it doesn't happen again. but down side is i wonder if they are coming with that new update? and i wonder if its possible to attain root?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
The update will only temporarily remove root.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
i did it guys i figured out how to fix it!!!!!

take that sh*t back to vzw store

and yes that did just happen ;)

[HD Mini General] humphster:
I've had my Mini for just a few days. I had a Touch (elf) and I am having difficulty doing some of things on the Mini that I did on the elf.

1. Some of the fonts are atrocious. Clear Type? Well, I read that you have to tweak the registry to make the Screen function available. So, Supwitdat? Seems a step backwards. Maybe there's another way.

2. The calendar on the Elf has a robust array of of selections for scheduling appointments. For example, I have an appointment that happens every other Sunday. I couldn't figure out how to schedule that appointment in the Mini. Did I miss something? Perhaps there's some good calendar software that I could install to replace the HTC version.

3. Ok, I'm a bit long the tooth and my hearing ain't what it used to be. The thing is that unless the phone is in my hand I can't hear the audio files provided for ring tones, reminders and notifications. The volume on the phone is full blast, too. Perhaps there are web sites where loud (for the older folks) can be found.

4. Apparently, the full keyboard doesn't have a delete key. That's weird.

Thanks in advance.

Anybody got any Ideas or suggest, I'd be grateful.
